Customer Ratings & Reviews

Is compact yet efficient; does the job without jamming

The insignia 10-sheet cross shredder performs well for most home shredding needs. We have mainly used the shredder to destroy the numerous credit card offers and older financial paperwork. The 10-sheet capacity is enough for most needs.

Quality shredder. As long as you follow the six-sheet maximum, then it will tear it up in an instant. I enjoy the overheat light feature. My previously shredder didn't have this feature, which results in its demise. But with the overheating indicator, it automatically stops to cool down.

Works great! It shreds credit cards and paper well

Bought this as a back-up, second one in a different place in our house. Have one in basement work area and now have one in our computer room. It is good not to have to go up and down stairs to shred items that need to be shredded. Basket has good capacity and is easy to empty.

I had been looking for a new shredder as mine was already over 6 years old and not shredding anymore. I researched reviews and prices and compared all. For the price, this cross shredder seemed to be the best of the bunch. I was happy with the results. The cross shredding really does shred well and I don't even have to remove the staples.

This is nice for basic use and it gets the job done

This shredder chews up paper quickly and efficiently. I wasn't sure what to expect from an inexpensive piece of hardware like this, but I have been very happy with it. I don't use it much more than a few times per month, but this shredder works without a problem every time.

Easy to use and set up and put under a desk. Great

This shredder is easy to use, store, and maintain. One feature about a smaller unit is that it is easier to service/empty and I have less debri falling on the floor compared to other units that could be considered industrial or large to handle.

This is good if you aren't shredding a lot of documents at once. It only takes about 6 at a time and will quickly overheat. Good price if you aren't doing a tone of shredding.

Bought this shredder to replace a shredder that kept jamming. Works great, just make sure to remove any sticky, gummy substance before you run your documents through. It builds up over time and causes jams. Happy shredding!

I bought this shredder after I read the reviews on it! It works great so far and it was not expensive! I guess if it last 4-5 years like my previous one did, I will be very happy with it! :)

I wanted a shredded for my home. I don’t have a large quantity to shred just the occasional purge and daily junk mail but I still wanted one that would last many years and handle as much as I have without spending a lot. This fits my needs perfectly.

Shredder doesn't great job. Better than smaller versions.

Great product for the price Does what was sold to do

I don't use this item a lot but it works well for my purposes. I got what I paid for. Makes a mess when I empty it but I suppose I could put a bag in the catch bin.

Very compact size. Perfect for small offices, apartments, or dorm rooms. It's actually surprisingly quiet for a document shredder (it still makes some noise but not much more than the industrial quiet version at my office.) If you are looking for an affordable document shedder for all your junk mail/financially sensitive data then look no further!

I like my little shredder but it does heat up quick after 30 minutes. I need to space it out in between & only put 5 papers at a time. Other than that so far so good.

After an extensive review of several shredders, the Insignia Crosscut was our final choice and we are very pleased with this unit. It has lived up to the high ratings for durability, quality, reliability, overall heavy-duty construction and so much more. I highly recommend this product to anyone for home office to small business use.
